Since I create so many virtual games, I figured it’s time to start spreading the knowledge with others who want to get involved with creating their own content. In this post, you will see how to create a Dance Yoga Fitness game with Canva.

Simple features are explained, which is a great way to get the ball rolling if you have been thinking about making your own games.

Now in this video, I use my Canva pro account, but in other videos in my How to Create Your Own Virtual Games playlist on YouTube, I strictly use the FREE version of Canva to show the options you have in case you don’t want to upgrade.

Personally, the free version is GREAT! I upgraded, because I wanted a one stop shop with all these cool features. Also, I knew I was going to be creating a ton of virtual games, so upgrading was in my best interest.

In the video below, you will get a 20 minute tutorial on all the key features needed to create a Dance Yoga fitness game for your kids.

This is my second tutorial, so it’s a little longer than I’d like. Hopefully as I continue, I’ll be able to cut the video time in half, while still providing all the key ingredients to produce a fun and engaging game.
